Google Releases Chrome 20 With Fixes for 20 Security Vulnerabilities

Description

Google has released version 20 of its Chrome browser, and has fixed a nice, symmetrical 20 flaws in the browser, including 13 high-risk bugs. Google also paid out $8,000 in rewards to researchers who reported bugs.

A large number of the bugs fixed in Chrome 20 are use-after-free vulnerabilities in various components of the browser. Many of the flaws in this release of the browser were discovered by members of the Google internal security team. Nearly all the other bugs were discovered and reported by a security researcher named Miaubiz, who took home $7,000 in bug bounties for his efforts.

In addition to the bug bounties paid to the researchers who reported Chrome-specific bugs, Google also paid out two rewards to researchers who found flaws that had a wider reach. Juri Aedla earned $3,000 for discovering an integer overflow in libxml and Nicholas Gregoire got $500 for a wild read in XSL handling.
